If you leave your students feeling they make difference, mission accomplished. Also, building efficacy requires the educator to know/model the other 3 extremely well.<br /><br />Cool thoughts!Catohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441632284988062102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2479638203692210723.post-13337248507457977662013-07-19T17:34:15.197-05:002013-07-19T17:34:15.197-05:00I ike the idea of hanging student work up at any t...I ike the idea of hanging student work up at any time and getting them to take that pride in their work.

I have a hard time with students wanting help with a problem, but don't look at their notes prior to raising their hand. I always reference them back to their notes, making a note that we did a question just like that one. Once they have found a similar questions they usually have the "Oh yea" comment. I would love for them to do this on their own and maybe this is a way to do that, but I have to figure out how it would work in a flipped classroom (which is what I am going to try next school year).

Yet...look at what we all talked about in our videos. Skills. Not technology.<br /><br />So, I wonder...are we all missing the boat a bit? Is it about the technology, or the skills? Can it be one without the other? Does it have to be both?Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02288940871436765133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2479638203692210723.post-40971767777782422082013-02-10T12:56:37.920-06:002013-02-10T12:56:37.920-06:00First of all I LOVE your blog...so cute!

My school has just purchased Ipads for each teacher, and I love using it is my classroom. My grade level purchased our last mimio, which was for my room. I am trying to use both of these pieces of technology in my room as much as possible. I find that students really react in a positive way even if I fumble a bit.
